ENID, OK – The 11th annual Red Brick Road Food Truck & Art Festival takes place this weekend on Saturday, March 22 from 11am to 7pm and Sunday, March 23 from noon to 6pm at the 200 block of East Maple in downtown Enid. There is a $5 entry fee, while children 10 and under are free.
“We have over two dozen food trucks and several other food vendors,” said Tammy Wilson of Enid Event Company, coordinator of the festival. “We have a lot of the regular fan favorites, but we also have quite a few new additions this year,” Wilson said. “There really is something for everyone.”
“In addition to all the fantastic food, there will be other vendors for arts, crafts, and other wares, as well as live music. We’re excited to have The Peachtrees closing out Saturday’s festivities this year. We don’t normally have full bands, so that will be a lot of fun. Leonardo’s will have AdventureQuest open and free for kids whose parents present a wristband from the festival and Settlers Brewing Company will once again be there to provide beer for the festival, and I believe Red will also be open, so it’s really a neighborhood collaboration,” said Wilson.
Attendees are urged to have cash for the entry fee, though most of the vendors are set up to take cards and other forms of electronic payments. “Trying to take cards at the gate tends to jam up the line, so we only take cash at the gate in order to keep it moving as smoothly as possible,” Wilson explained. “If people can have smaller bills, that will help us a lot.”
Pets may accompany their owners, provided they are leashed and cleaned up after.
There will be some seating and picnic tables available, but lawn chairs are also welcomed.
“This is the eleventh one and it’s really become kind of the Spring kickoff event of the year,” Wilson said. “It’s fun to get outside after being cooped up for the winter and getting to see everyone. It’s probably one of my favorite events of the year. We even have a group that “tailgates” and has shirts made for it. I love how the community has really embraced this event.”
